[Part I]
 
[Intro]
C  Em  D  Am
 Mm, mm, mm
 
 
[Chorus]
C Em
I try
   D
To live in black and white
           Am
But I'm so blue
C   Em
I'd like
   D                           Am
To mean it when I say I'm over you
                     C
But that's still not true
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
       Em
(Blue, blue)
                 D
Oh, I'm still so blue (Oh)
          Am
(Blue, blue)
 
 
[Verse]
Am                    Em
I thought we were the same (Thought we were the same)
           D
Birds of a feather (Birds of a feather)
         Am                        C
Now I'm ashamed (Oh), I told you a lie
              Em                  D
Désolée, mon amour, I'm trying my best (Trying)
                     Am                 C
Don't know what's in store, open up the door (Blue)
                  Em                  D
In the back of my mind, I'm still overseas (Blue)
            Am                              C
A bird in a cage, thought you were made for me
 
 
[Chorus]
  Em           D
I try (I'm not what)
 
To livе in black and white
           Am                         C
But I'm so blue (But I'm not what you need)
    Em                 D
I'd like (Not what you need)
                          Am
To mеan it when I say I'm over you
                     C        Em
But that's still not true, true
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
 
(Blue, blue)
                 D
And I'm still so blue (That's not true)
            Am
(Blue, blue)
    C                   Em
I'm true blue, true blue
             D Am
I'm true blue
 
 
[Outro]
C      Em
(Blue, blue)
      D   Am
Mm, mm, mm
 
 
[Part II]
 
[Intro]
   Cm
Ah-ah
 
Ah-ah
    G
Ah-ah
 
Ah-ah
 
 
[Verse 1]
              Cm
You were born bluer than a butterfly
                             G
Beautiful and so deprived of oxygen
Cm
Colder than your father's eyes
                                    G
He never learned to sympathize with anyone
 
 
[Chorus]
        Cm
I don't blame you
            G
But I can't change you
      Cm
Don't hate you (Don't hate you)
             G
But we can't save you (But we can't save you)
 
 
[Verse 2]
              Cm
You were born reaching for your mother's hands
                                 G
Victim of your father's plans to rule the world
Cm
Too afraid to step outside
                          G
Paranoid and petrified of what you've heard
 
 
[Bridge]
                       Cm
But they could say the same 'bout me
 
I sleep 'bout three hours each night
                                G
Means only twenty-one a week now, now
                    Cm
And I could say the same 'bout you
 
Born blameless, grew up famous too
                      G
Just a baby born blue now, now
 
 
[Chorus]
        Cm
I don't blame you (I don't blame you)
            G
But I can't change you
      Cm
Don't hate you
             G
But we can't save you (But we can't save you)
 
 
[Bridge]
 
(But they could say the same 'bout me)
 
(I sleep 'bout three hours each night)
 
(Means only twenty-one a week now)
Cm
  Ah-ah-ah
 
(But they could say the same 'bout me)
 
(I sleep 'bout three hours each night)
 
(Means only twenty-one a week now)
G
 Ah-ah-ah-ah
 
(But they could say the same 'bout me)
 
(I sleep 'bout three hours each night)
 
(Means only twenty-one a week now)
Cm     G
  Ah-ah
 
(But they could say the same 'bout me)
 
(I sleep 'bout three hours each night)
 
(Means only twenty-one a week now)
Cm
Ooh-ooh
          G
It's over now
          Cm
It's over now
          G
It's over now
Cm     G
  Ah-ah
 
 
[Outro]
N.C.
But when can I hear the next one?

on the bridge on part 2 I think its "Born blameless, grew up famous too Just a baby born blue now, now," not "Born prayin', that's cool, you're famous too Just a baby born blue now, now,"
